St. Matthew's Lutheran Church
April 17, 2024
Dear St. Matthew’s Congregation—
I am hoping to communicate the most sincere and heartfelt ‘thank you’ any arrangement of words could ever convey surrounding our celebration of pastor and people marked by my official installation Sunday, April 14. The collective spirit of grace and joy was palpable in all expressions—from worship space decorations and special music to the catered luncheon to the worship event itself and the ensuing reception. Thank you for the cards, gifts, hugs, and blessings. My family and I appreciate and love you all very much. Well done, good and faithful people! Most significantly, we look forward to all that God has in store for this corner of the vineyard through our gospel ministry together. May the Lord bless and keep you all, now and forever, Amen. -Pastor Luther and Laurie
